Ratings and reviews

Update: Control/Orientation issues fixed, app now working again. The newest update has broken the functionality. If I turn my phone from landscape to portrait while watching a video, the video automatically pauses, and the controls become unresponsive. It stops both the playback and the controls again. This used to be a great app, but I won't change my review until these issues are resolved.

Clearly, whoever made decisions involving the last update is trying to fix something that isn't broke. Typically, when you do that, it only makes things worse. My streaming experience went from no issues. Whatsoever to randomly jumping forward, or back in the video to audio only with a black screen. If I change from portrait to landscape, this wipe up feature to see what's next in line now, just automatically takes you to the next video without asking

Thanks for reverting the update to the previous UI, much better and smoother now. Though I absolutely hate the mini player. It is obnoxious and in the way, please return it to the panel at the bottom of the screen. Also please fix the look of descriptions in dark mode, the text is black against an almost black background and is near impossible to read.
